The complete functional characterisation of the terpene synthase family in tomato
New Phytologist, 2020 Summary Analysis of the updated reference tomato genome found 34 full‐length TPS genes and 18 TPS pseudogenes. Biochemical analysis has now identified the catalytic activities of all enzymes encoded by the 34 TPS genes: one isoprene synthase, 10 ...

Ambient new particle formation parameter indicates potential rise in future events [PDF]
, 2009 Atmospheric new particle formation is a general phenomenon observed over coniferous forests. So far nucleation is described as a function of gaseous sulfuric acid concentration only, which is unable to explain the observed seasonality of nucleation ...

Caryolene-forming carbocation rearrangements
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2013 Density functional theory calculations on mechanisms of the formation of caryolene, a putative biosynthetic precursor to caryol-1(11)-en-10-ol, reveal two mechanisms for caryolene formation: one involves a base-catalyzed deprotonation/reprotonation ...

Induced terpene accumulation in Norway spruce inhibits bark beetle colonization in a dose-dependent manner. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Tree-killing bark beetles (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) are among the most economically and ecologically important forest pests in the northern hemisphere. Induction of terpenoid-based oleoresin has long been considered important in conifer defense against ...

Mechanistically informed predictions of binding modes for carbocation intermediates of a sesquiterpene synthase reaction. [PDF]
, 2016 Sesquiterpenoids comprise a class of terpenoid natural products with thousands of compounds that are highly diverse in structure, generally containing a polycyclic carbon backbone that is constructed by a sesquiterpene synthase.

Effects of Nitrogen Fertilization on Monoterpenes of Jack Pine Seedlings and Weight Gain of Jack Pine Budworm (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Nine-month old jack pine (Pinus banksiana) seedlings were grown in a greenhouse under four nitrogen fertilization regimes. Levels of total nitrogen and five monoterpenes in new foliage were measured. Fertilization resulted in four significantly different
